State v. Jenkins

Appellant Clarence Williams Jenkins seeks review of his convictions for kidnapping and murder. Appellant argues the trial court’s refusal to provide the jury with the circumstantial evidence instruction set forth in State v. Edwards1 violated his right to require the prosecution to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Appellant also challenges the trial court’s failure to strike the testimony of the State’s fingerprint ex*564pert, or, in the alternative, to grant a mistrial, arguing the prosecution withheld evidence material to the testimony in question. We affirm.
